I have a Nikon D7000 normally I use a 300 zoom on action or pet setting in scene mode. And I take dozens of photos. I don’t normally get good flight photos. Here in Louisiana there is a sort of perpetual haze which dulls water shots. Most of the birds I shoot are on lakes so it is challenging. This morning the elements were in my favor. Thanks for commenting. I’m glad you like the photos. They are one of my favorite birds.as if I could choose one. 🙂

So, you’re from Louisiana? Some of these birds also come down here, not exactly the same but similar ones. I try to take pictures, but they are too far from the road looking for fishes in shallow ponds and fields.

I used to stay in Grant Road which is like in the heart of the Mumbai City, but the city is getting congested and worse day by day so I moved to Vasai which is almost on the outskirts of the city. On Google Map you can find Vasai just a little bit north of the city close to the coast. 🙂 Both Texas and Costa Rica are great places, in terms of real estate I think Austin TX is great. Costa Rica is great for eco-friendly holidays.

It is amazing that at my age, while I thought I knew so much about the world, every day I learn of cities and even sometimes-countries-I never knew existed. We lived just outside of Austin, Tx and also San Antonio, Galveston, Magnolia and lastly Tyler-my favorite. It is more like a small town feeling. Very good schools there. We lived in Costa Rica for 8 months and can’t wait to move back there, possibly permanently. It is more the way we envision our lives at one with nature and not needing so much “stuff”. Also they really love their country and care for it as well as they are able to. We have good friends there, both American and Tico.

We have the white ones too, or perhaps they are not same as yours. Ours are technically Great Egrets, of which we have plenty. The blue are a bit less prolific. The first time I saw one, I was so excited! I even saw a green Heron during migration season but didnt know it until I posted on a bird circle and was told it was rare to see one in my neck of the woods. I was never a real bird watcher until we moved to costa Rica. Now I am so aware of them always. Thanks for coming by.

I think technically the ones near my parent’s home are Egrets too. I am not a bird watcher at all, but I have always stopped to admire the Egrets and Herons. I don’t know if its their size or their manner, but I find them quite captivating. I love your work, its always a pleasure to drop by. 🙂

Hi Lorraine, thank you for stopping by. We have the white ones as well. I did a blog a few minths back about one who let me photograph it endlessly. They are just so stately to me. Glad you enjoyed the photos. I hope you will visit again. 🙂

Observations in the Illusion

Hi,
Cheryl here. I can hardly believe how quickly the years have added up since I first began blogging, with life events that saw me migrate from the US to Paradise and back-twice! I would not give anything for the rich experiences we had in Costa Rica and I miss it every day. We will visit every chance we get; however, life is rarely a straight and wide path and for this portion of it we are back living in the states. I am fortunate to be living in a place rich with wildlife, beauty and wonderful inspiration. If you hang around I promise I will keep sharing with you and hope you find something to enjoy in what my camera and I manage to capture. My deepest desire is to find and show the common vein that connects us all. We live as one, breathe as one, were created as one. If we could just combine all our brilliant thoughts into one fine idea, what a wonderful world we would have. Love and Light. My tropicalaffair site is full and so I have moved. You can still read about our adventures here or hop over to my new place at https://dreamingreality646941880.wordpress.com/2018/01/12/first-blog-post/ I hope to see you there!
